The route offers a mix of forest trails and open viewpoints, followed by a relaxed afternoon in thermal pools with lunch included. 🐎 Key Details Duration: 12 hours Format: Private Location: Arenal Volcano region Ages: 1+ 🌿 What to Expect The day begins with private pickup from San Jose and a drive through rural landscapes towards the Arenal Volcano region. On arrival at a private biological reserve, you’ll be matched with a horse suited to your level before setting off on a guided ride through rainforest trails. The route moves at a steady pace, passing through protected forest areas with opportunities to take in views of the volcano when conditions allow. After the ride, you continue by private transfer to the hot springs area where lunch is served on arrival. Once finished, you have free time to enjoy the thermal pools, which are spread across landscaped gardens with different temperatures and settings. Later in the afternoon, the return journey to San Jose begins, with time to relax during the drive back. 📍 Location The experience takes place in the Arenal Volcano region, an area known for its geothermal activity, rainforest landscapes and rich biodiversity. The volcano dominates the landscape, with surrounding forest and farmland creating a varied natural setting. The horseback riding is set within a private reserve designed to protect local wildlife and vegetation. The hot springs are located at the base of the volcanic area, where naturally heated waters are channelled into a series of pools surrounded by tropical gardens. ⚠️ Prerequisites No previous horseback riding experience is required as horses are carefully matched to each participant and a full briefing is given before the ride begins. The pace is controlled throughout and guided at all times. Participants should be comfortable sitting on a horse for up to two hours and managing basic movement during the ride. Reasonable mobility is also needed for moving around the hot springs area and getting in and out of transport. 🌱 Why Choose Us This operator focuses on private, well-planned day experiences that prioritise comfort, timing and access to key natural locations.
